The Integrated Sensor Suite collects outside weather data and sends the data to a

Vantage Pro2 console. The wireless sensor suite can also transmit data to

WeatherLink Live, a Vantage Vue console, or other Davis wireless receiver. The

wireless sensor suite is solar-powered and sends data via radio. The cabled sensor

suite sends data via cable to one cabled Vantage Pro2 console, cabled Weather

Envoy, or cabled Vantage Connect and receives power via the console.

Tip: One wireless sensor suite can transmit to any number of receivers within its range,

so you can add additional receivers or consoles to use in different rooms.

All Vantage Pro2 sensor suites include a rain collector, temperature sensor, humidity

sensor, and anemometer. Temperature and humidity sensors are mounted in a passive

or fan-aspirated radiation shield to minimize the impact of solar radiation on sensor

readings. The anemometer measures wind speed and direction and can be installed

adjacent to the sensor suite or apart from it. See “Locating the Sensor Suite and

Anemometer” on page 19 for siting guidelines.

The transmitter shelter contains the “brain” of the sensor suite: the sensor interface

and the transmitter. It collects outside weather data from the sensor suite sensors and

then transmits the data to your Vantage Pro2 console, Vantage Vue console (wireless

only), WeatherLink Live (wireless only), Weather Envoy, or Vantage Connect.

• Wireless Vantage Pro2 with Fan (product number 6153): Includes a 24-Hour

Fan-Aspirated Radiation Shield.
